Language and Keyboard Settings in Summit Indica for Chanakya Font

Though English is a universal language but lot of work is done in regional
or country language. When talk about advertising and designing sector many
languages are used other than English. Hindi is one of them. To type Hindi in
computer Hindi Script Font is used in which Kruti dev is most famous. But here I
am talking about 2nd used font in Hindi typing Chanakya.

Chanakya is also a Hindi Script Font as Kruti Dev, Walkman
Chanakya, etc. But this font is not available for free. If you wish to use it
you would need to buy it.For this, you
need to install Summit Indica Software. After installing
Summit Indica Software, you can work with Chanakya font in any DTP(Desktop
Publishing) software like, Pagemaker, Corel, InDesign, Quark Express, etc..

After finishing installation of this software you cannot directly start
working with Chanakya.You need to
change some settings otherwise you can faceproblems while typing.

First of all you change the Language toDevnagari. Then the
style of Keyboard toRemington.

In this software package you will get 19+ different font styles for Hindi
Language to stylize your typography designs. You can also use it for other
Indian languages like, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and
